Let's look at the positives. What do we all agree on?
Is it philosophical?
Is it practical?
Is it character?
Is it discipline?
or What?

I am just a little tired of all the negativity. I want to see a list of the good things we all have in common.
Am I asking too much?

The common thread that ties all true martial artists together, is a path toward an authentic and self developing life. All martial arts have this as their goal; the development of the self, service to others, and an authentic connection with all that exists.
As one wise person said, even though we are all taking different paths to the peak, we are all utlimately climbing the same mountain.

It depends on how you define Martial Art. As I define it, philosophy & discipline are vital. Obviously, the martial aspect is also a sine qua non.

If all the You can beat em up crap would quit I would start as many others sharing this
But many are afraid of bullies that are tougher not wiser
Shame alot of knowledge goes to waste cause a person cannot apply what they know as well anymore of if ever, but hell imagine learning more and more and
from COOL people willing to share
ahh well you would not understand
I Enjoy Cool Tough People and always have
I Hate Tough Bullies and always have
I once heard of a man shot once and died
the people who shot him shot many more times, was he dead any more?
If an art will harm you, if another harms you more does it better the one that worked as far as the law will allow and less effective on the streets??
You all act like unless you kill your opponent it is not effective
Dammmmmm what a Menatlity?

I think you are mistaking negativity for realism.
